Game Mechanics Smart Cursor platform building improvement

We all know the struggles of building bridges that help us in fighting bosses and traversing the world.
Constantly swarming enemies are a nuisance in addition to this happening:

When you move the cursor a bit, the character has placed down unintended stairs that need to be broken.
To avoid this, the cursor has to be carefully kept vertically centered.
Add in enemies to the mix, and the already tedious task becomes a highly irritating one.

Here are the smart cursor ranges that specify whether a straight platform or a diagonal stair is built:

The range of building a straight platform (which is what we usually do) is painfully narrow as you can see.
My suggestion would be to increase this range to make building with platforms and minecart rails less finicky:

Maybe it shouldn't be increased this much, I'm not sure which would feel best.
